At least with respect to my belief it is the natural desires for all religion to want to spread &quot;its particular word.&quot;<br /><br />The difference here is the Christian faith at it&#39;s foundation (The New Testament) does not call for violence against another faith to spread its own. The Koran does. Christ was said to have made the statement,and I paraphrase, If a man strikes you on one cheeck turn to him the other. Quite pacifist I would say.<br /><br />Having said this I must acknowledge that the Old Testament is replete with references to violence. In my view neither the Koran or The Old Testament are ideal models for ethical and moral behavior in several respects. <br /><br />And yes there are by far fewer radical Jihadists than moderate Muslims. {And by the way Veronica I know and have associated with many Muslims, some who have became very close and dear friends.}But the number of radicals runs into several millions at the very least. And they are gaining in numbers.<br /><br />For me this issue is really not about one religion versus another. I am not at all religious,although I have read the Bible from cover to cover, read much of the Koran, and have a cursory knowledge of Buddism,which really is not a religion at all. <br /><br />My belief is that religion is a personal issue. I could care less which religion is the largest or the smallest. Or how any individualchooses to believe, or not.<br /><br />What I do care about are those who would give me three choices,and these choices only... either convert, be subjugatd,or die. These are not my words, they come from the Koran. Jihadist around the world are preaching this and recruiting for the cause. Jihad means Holy War.<br /><br />I hope your idealism turns out to be correct Veronica, I really do. But history leads me to NOT hold out much hope that it will.<br /><br />I am reminded of Neville Chamberland. Evil has many faces. Compromising with evil only serves to strenghthen the evil. This is a battle of philosophy.<br /><br />Read the Koran. At the very least understand the radical element that is growing in the religion of Islam. It may very well be your generation which will need to confront a growing violent reality. The radicals in Islam are still living in the 6th century.Rational Nation USAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291350216287285595.post-28146824668474016092010-08-05T04:11:43.413-07:002010-08-05T04:11:43.413-07:00Another thing I want to point out here, that we li...Another thing I want to point out here, that we live in such a politically correct pop culture herd mentality type society, and frankly speaking both of these polarizing side&#39;s of left and right are spending more effort on trying to say they are all &quot;good&quot; and their political opponent is of course &quot;evil&quot; ... there is no grey area or alternative thinking, and this has been this way for decade&#39;s, and recently more intense, due to economic strain&#39;s, war&#39;s, and other issue&#39;s. The entire mindset rest assured will change in time, and of course much of the old relic&#39;s who have proven to be more politically incompetent than productive will retire and go fishing or whatever the Hell they do, or die off, which is way past due in my opinion as well. Many American&#39;s believe that these war&#39;s which frankly are corporate dictated strictly on an international level, are war&#39;s to free people from oppression and the clenches of evil, then when we do fight these so called manufactured war&#39;s, we give our troop&#39;s rule book&#39;s on how to fight properly when the enemy (who we also financially support indirectly or directle)dont give a rat&#39;s ass about the Geneva Convention or any rule&#39;s except their own for that matter.

I actually agree with ...Greeting&#39;s Ms.Stetter!<br /><br />I actually agree with the majority of this, I was a little suprised I reckon on your view&#39;s. I of course as well been an NRA supporter for a few decade&#39;s as well, so I am very pro gun right&#39;s, I dont knock those who dont like them, to each their own ... I just grew up with gun&#39;s, archery, and throwing knive&#39;s and mostly for sporting. But we are so snowballed on this war and getting milked and drained like cow&#39;s actually. Those behind alot of this ... are actually in it for the billion&#39;s of yes ... resources that they will be mining with already negotiated no bid contract&#39;s such as China for instance who already have the copper mining and railway&#39;s directly from Afghanistan into China only ... this is very deep as well ... I have covered actually many of the scam&#39;s. The thing is also many dont realize .... is some of these folk&#39;s like pakistan for instance who we just announced to give over $7 billion to, also want the Taliban to be part of their government when all is settled too. I have a nephew just completed 2 tour&#39;s in Iraq (US Marine Sargeant) and my niece in Oceanside, CA just enlisted US Army after HS grad, and is being deployed to Afghanistan, she is your age actually.<br /><br />Thank You, have a good unRanch Chimphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291350216287285595.post-71079665126264450042010-07-27T12:47:59.050-07:002010-07-27T12:47:59.050-07:00I don&#39;t think that Islam is after world domina...I don&#39;t think that Islam is after world domination any more than Christianity is.Jerry Critterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01870618647449723147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291350216287285595.post-69339440561516224302010-07-22T13:52:06.583-07:002010-07-22T13:52:06.583-07:00I totally agree with you Veronica. I think it&#39;...I totally agree with you Veronica. I think it&#39;s knee-jerk jingoism based on fear. Americans did something similar during WWII with the Japanese interment camps. And here I had hoped Americans had grown up and matured a bit. This is what happens when people don&#39;t pay attention to history, which as a historian really irks me.<br /><br />To want to shut down an entire religions right to freedom of worship because some Muslims decided to kill innocent people is ridiculous. It&#39;d be like banning a new church simply because a few wackos how blown up a near by abortion clinic. That&#39;s not how America was structured. <br /><br />Labeling all Muslims as something to fear is actually EXACTLY what people like Osama bin Laden want. They WANT us to turn the peaceful Muslims against us, so that it will unite them under their flag of intolerance. <br /><br />You don&#39;t fight intolerance with more intolerance. We should be EMBRACING the moderate Muslims--not turning them away and in doing so push them RIGHT into the hands of the terrorists.<br /><br />I think in part it does come down to life experiences as you suggested Veronica. I spent two years in West Africa and all of the Muslims I encountered were nice, peaceful, welcoming people. Were there probably some radicals? Sure, but you can&#39;t condemn an entire religion because of some who decide to go out and blow other people up!! I doubt the many Christians here in America would want to be painted with that broad brush. Great post.Handsome B.

To me that&#39;s like saying I should watch Jurassic Park and be very frightened. I know several Islamic people on a personal basis and know that here in America, those old-fashioned traditional views hold no water. Many traditions remain while many are also put aside. You&#39;d be surprised at what the Bible condones which is no longer socially acceptable today. <br /><br />US Constitution &gt; Ancient religious documents. Point being that you can be afraid of the entire religion if you want to, but I challenge you to find a practicing Muslim here in America and have a conversation with them about their religion. If you think all Muslims are conspiring against us, you have another thing coming.Veronica Stetterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00689970200336880903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291350216287285595.post-87027298818555665142010-07-22T09:28:54.388-07:002010-07-22T09:28:54.388-07:00Veronica - Have you read the Koran?

If the gov&#39;t were to regulate manufacturer&#39;s use of HFCS and other dangerous fatty ingredients, the ingredients would never be passed along to the consumer in the first place. <br /><br />tnlib - That&#39;s pretty off-topic, as this deals with food items that everyone eats, rather than toxic and addictive substances that actually pose a more immediate health risk to ALL users.
